Labour MP Barry Gardiner used to be known for elegantly eviscerating anti-Corbyn TV interviewers. But today, 13 May 2026, he instead made a silent, brilliant point to the appalling fraud Keir Starmer today in the House of Commons.
Starmer’s mini-me Wes Streeting will make a move to topple him tomorrow. But as Starmer still tried to quip with MPs who despise him, as part of a feeble ‘king’s speech’ tradition, Gardiner sat quietly behind him. And all the while, positioned to be caught every time the Commons cameras did a close-up of the PM, was a book on Gardiner’s lap.
Not just any book, but Paul Holden’s brilliant exposé of Starmer and his faction, The Fraud:
Bravo Barry Gardiner. You spoke for all of us.

Delicious subliminal messaging from Mr Gardiner. In these times of rampant censorship, erosion of free speech and the refusal of MSM to do their job it is encouraging to see the Canary keeping us informed of who the good guys are.
Marvellous!
Barry Gardiner would make an excellent pm
When I made a similar comment btl in Guardian’s politics now, it was deleted! Didn’t meet their standards apparently
No he wouldnt he works for the same entity
He is a former vice-chair of Labour Friends of Israel and remains a member.
time you woke up and stopped talking rubbish
Labour friends of babykillers, no chance
I wish Barry Gardiner would go for the leadership. He was brilliant in the Corbyn era. I remember his sharp, acerbic, intelligent, cutting responses to the media and opposition.
Labour is dead with Starmer, and for LP members to be considering Streeting as PM, well that means they do not think its dead enough as yet. Starmer was, from the beginning an MI5 and Mossad plant with just one job, kill off an chance of another JC happening. All Cabinet Ministers knew this but hung in there for the bribes and shekels, disgusting bastards.
